Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Cost ManagementICLR management is swiftly deploying cost-saving actions in response to lower expected activity, which is expected to improve EBITDA margin year over year.
Market PositionICLR is a market leader in the contract research organization (CRO) space, particularly the late-stage clinical space, and solidified its position with the 2021 acquisition of PRA Health for ~$12Bn.
Strategic PartnershipsThe company has continued to build its partnerships, noting an addition of a top-10 pharma strategic partnership that is expected to accelerate business wins in the near- to medium-term.
Bears Say
Financial PerformanceICLR shares have significantly declined compared to SPX, highlighting underperformance.
Operational IssuesICLR is experiencing high cancellations, low awards, delayed starts, and slipped change order signatures, although some issues are expected to improve.
Sector ChallengesThe overall outlook for the CRO sector remains unconstructive, with sector performance worsening and old growth paradigms possibly outdated.
